Full-Service Real Estate Representation for Landlords and Investors
In addition to representing landlords before the Landlord and Tenant Board, we provide full-service real estate legal representation for landlords and real estate investors across Ontario.
We act as real estate counsel from start to finish on purchases, sales, refinancing, and private lending involving residential rental properties. Our work is not limited to tenancy-related advice — we handle the entire transaction, including review, negotiation support, closing, and registration.
What distinguishes our practice is that every real estate matter is approached with a deep understanding of tenancy law, possession risks, and post-closing obligations, allowing landlords to make informed decisions before issues arise.
Rental Property Purchases
We act for landlords and investors on the purchase of residential rental properties, including properties with existing tenants.
Our services include:
- Reviewing and advising on agreements of purchase and sale
- Acting as your real estate lawyer on the transaction
- Advising on existing tenancies, lease terms, and occupancy status
- Assessing possession, vacancy, and compliance risks
- Handling all closing and registration requirements
Our goal is to ensure you complete the purchase with a clear understanding of your rights, obligations, and risks as a landlord.
Selling a Rental Property
We act as seller’s counsel on the sale of tenanted and non-tenanted rental properties.
Our services include:
- Acting as your real estate lawyer on the sale
- Advising on tenanted sales and purchaser requirements
- Coordinating notices related to purchaser use or vacant possession
- Reviewing closing conditions and timelines
- Managing closing and registration
Careful legal planning is essential to avoid delayed closings, failed transactions, or future disputes with tenants or purchasers.
Refinancing Rental Properties
We provide complete legal services for refinancing rental properties, whether through institutional lenders or private financing.
Our services include:
- Acting as your real estate lawyer on the refinance
- Reviewing lender instructions and mortgage terms
- Coordinating with existing tenancies
- Managing closing, registration, and reporting requirements
We ensure refinancing proceeds smoothly while remaining compliant with tenancy law.
Private Lending and Mortgages
We act for landlords, investors, and private lenders on private mortgage transactions involving residential rental properties.
Our services include:
- Acting as counsel for lenders or borrowers
- Drafting and reviewing mortgage and security documentation
- Advising on enforcement considerations
- Completing registration and closing
These transactions require careful structuring to protect the parties’ interests and security.
A Landlord-Focused Real Estate Practice
Unlike general real estate practices, our real estate work is informed by extensive experience with landlord-tenant disputes and LTB proceedings. This allows us to identify and address tenancy-related risks before they become legal problems.
Clients retain us as their real estate lawyer, with the added benefit of integrated tenancy law insight.
